Well, it seems netizens are keeping a sharp eye not only on their celebs’ outfits but also on their accents. After trolling Kiara Advani for her fake accent at the Cannes Film Festival, netizens have criticised Preity Zinta. She told Brut about her outfit, “My look is simple yet with a little sparkle.
” Talking about the event , she added, “It’s wonderful. I’m coming after a long time. I’m very excited and happy to be here.
” While fans showered praises on her look, they trolled Preity for her accent. “I am perplexed as to why Indians modify their accents when in foreign lands, engaging with natives. It comes across as disingenuous.
Why cannot they retain their genuine selves?” A user wrote, “Why do you all fake your accent?? Just stay and talk the way you are!” Another netizen said, “Her accent got me. They sound absolutely ridiculous when they change their accent to one that is some bizarre cosmopolitan made-up one.” “Whatever happened to her accent? That’s how colonization works.
Making one feel inferior in speaking their own accent, from PC (Priyanka Chopra) to Zinta,” said an Instagram user. Another social media user wrote, “For once why can’t they define the place from which they come from! Wearing a saree symbolising Indian authenticity but the accent.” However, many users came out in support of the actress.
“She’s been living in AMERICA with her AMERICAN husband for a long time. People should stop judging her accent. Also, she.
